>Nintendo DS games on Wii U eshop
>not on 3DS eshop
What the fuck Nintendo?
Anything that could theoretically get more people to buy a Wii U
3DS has backcompat.
>>321479935
which means nothing at all
Probably because it lacks the processing power to even emulate GBA games, and could only play them through going into DS mode, then having the DS mode go into GBA mode

If you are buying a WiiU to play DS games then you''re fucking stupid. That's like buying ice cream so you can eat the sprinkles on top.
>>321481694
His explanation was completely correct, you fucking idiot.
>>321481694
That is how the 3DS does it, though the N3DS might be able to handle it
I don't know but they need to update the goddamn virtual console library. I don't think it even has Mario kart 64, what the hell
>>321480357
So why not just do that for the GBA games on WiiU that aren't on 3DS? Oh wait they did for the Ambassador games but that was before the WiiU flopped OOPS.
>>321482118
Wii U emulates GBA, which is satisfactory for them to sell games on VC
3DS can only use backwards compatibility, which they don't find satisfactory for VC
>>321482118
Probably because they then wouldn't be able to add any of the features standard on the virtual console like the menu and save states
>>321481896
The 3ds can emulate GBA games perfectly fine retard
>>321483716
Not without special cards with their own processors or anything, unless you're one of the types to think the PSP emulates GBA just fine
The N3DS should definitely be able to though
>>321483872
They gave GBA games out for 3ds as part of the ambassador program and other special shit.
It's perfectly capable of doing it.
>>321484202
And they play through backwards compatibility, not emulation
>Handheld quality games on your TV
When is Nintendo going to get their head out of their ass?
>>321484306
Yeah, so?
>>321484529
We're talking about the system's ability to emulate it, which is what Nintendo wants so they can do the shit like save states or even sleep mode, otherwise they don't think it's good enough to brand as a VC title
Whether that's a wise decision or not is a whole other can of wormsit isn't
>>321482312
Doesn't stop them from selling Wii games on the eShop.
>>321484805
Also they already sell DSi games on the 3DS eShop, which run in DS mode. They should at least be able to make digital DS games work.

Full Wii games weren't available on the eShop until recently. It probably takes a similar amount of work to make DS games playable on 3DS in the same capacity, maybe more considering the fact that the WiiU is able to act basically completely like a regular Wii from the get go with menu and everything.

It's like buying a new car for a cd player.
>>321486510
Ok.
It's like buying a PC rig just so you have a calculator to use.
It's like buying a home just so you can live in the basement.
>no DS Player a la the GBA Player for Gamecube
C'mon Nintendo, it's not like you guys will actually remember to make an eShop version of Hotel Dusk

>Food analogy
Someone spoonfeed, I didn't get the memo on this meme.
